38 Let's get married!
Lu Zhou saw him very quickly, but he ran away just before he could call out "sister-in-law".
"Hey? Are you hiding from me? You're quite shy. But why is only one of you out? Where's the other one?" He looked around but couldn't find Zhou Jingbai.
After the dinner, the two of them got into the car in silence one after the other. Wen Zihuan took the co-pilot seat first and generously gave the double seat to Zhou Jingbai. They
were silent all the way in the car. Of course, this only refers to the driver's perspective.
Wen Zihuan secretly glanced at Zhou Jingbai in the back seat with his peripheral vision, and was worried that he would be discovered. He almost made himself look like a chicken eye.
[Why did he act like that at that time? Although he would have such a reaction, it usually wouldn't happen at this time. Why didn't he say a word? I didn't see him for more than an hour at the dinner just now. Was he in the bathroom the whole time? Should I say a few words?]
Zhou Jingbai closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat, but his ears couldn't be quiet. He was getting more and more annoyed with this inexplicable ability.
But soon his thoughts began to wander. He didn't know what happened today. He just stuck out his tongue and he suddenly...
It seemed that this change started gradually after the incident at the resort island. He even avoided Wen Zihuan for a while because of this. He thought it was just a short-term psychological effect caused by the momentary impulse, and it would naturally disappear after a while. He didn't expect it to be getting worse and worse. He took
a deep breath and felt that this matter was very serious. He once again suspected the side effects of the medicine. He really couldn't think of any other explanation. So
he planned to call his good doctor out for a cup of tea after returning.
Wen Zihuan sat upright with his heart pounding all the way, not daring to breathe heavily. He was the first to get off the car, and he was faster than Butler Liu who came to open the car door.
After getting off the car, he went into the house, went upstairs, returned to his room and closed the door in one go, leaving Fang Xingluo, who came out to greet him, confused.
After he came out, he quickly noticed the stains on Zhou Jingbai's suit, which looked like they were left by cream, but Zhou Jingbai didn't like to eat these things, not to mention when he was outside participating in activities, so it must have been someone else who got them there.
"Brother Jingbai, what's wrong with this suit?" he looked up and asked.
"I got it dirty accidentally." Zhou Jingbai only gave a hasty explanation and didn't say anything else. Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Fang Xingluo didn't ask any more questions.
The next day, Zhou Jingbai called Lin Chu over, but because Wen Zihuan was staying at home, he could only make an appointment with him outside.
Lin Chu looked at the coffee shop in front of him, "Why don't we go to your house? It looks weird for the two of us to drink coffee here."
"It's close to home. Stop talking nonsense. I have something to ask you." Zhou Jingbai interrupted him directly.
"What is it that is worth our young master Zhou to specially ask me to meet here before he is willing to tell me." Lin Chu stretched his waist and couldn't help wondering. "
It's just..."
Zhou Jingbai continued to describe to Lin Chu the symptoms of his recent physical discomfort in a slightly awkward way.
"Think about it, is there any medicine I'm taking now that causes this problem?"
Lin Chu looked a little embarrassed, "Uh, probably not?"
"Should?"
"Let me look it over for you." After he finished speaking, he pretended to look through his recent prescriptions seriously.
As for why he was pretending, because he was already familiar with these things.
He is Zhou Jingbai's personal doctor, and he only cares about him. How could he not know what symptoms the medicine would cause? Besides, what he just described obviously had nothing to do with the medicine, so he could only come to one conclusion.
Self-deception.
Lin Chu frowned as if he was studying some big world problem. After studying the medicine he had taken recently, he finally told Zhou Jingbai with a professional look.
"There is indeed such a possibility."
"Really? Why have you never told me about it before? You are my personal doctor, and you didn't even mention such a serious side effect. I suddenly feel that the salary you are getting now is a bit unworthy of your position." Zhou Jingbai breathed a sigh of relief from the inside out after hearing what he said.
He just said, how could it be his own problem, this had never happened before, now the truth is out, it was the side effects of the medicine he took that caused him...
Lin Chu immediately felt bitter and resentful after hearing this, what he just said was a lie against his conscience.
Zhou Jingbai has been taking those medicines for so many years, if there really is such an inexplicable side effect that has never appeared in clinical practice, it would have appeared long ago.
It would have been fine if he didn't go down the stage he gave him, but Tiangang actually wanted to deduct his salary.
He is really speechless now.
In the end, the conversation between the two ended so hastily, mainly because Zhou Jingbai finished talking to himself and then drank the coffee in front of him, then got up and walked away briskly, without paying any attention to the other person.
Lin Chu sighed as he watched him leave. It was fine that she was a doctor, an investment consultant, and occasionally a driver before, but how come he was in charge of even her emotional problems now?
What Zhou Jingbai described earlier clearly highlighted one thing: he fell in love with her.
But he refused to admit it, and would rather believe that it was a side effect of the medicine than his own problem.
"It would be better for him to be my dean. He makes a lot of money. Although he does make a lot of money here, he wants to tear me into eight pieces." He held his head and shook it.
Zhou Jingbai drove out by himself today, and he couldn't help humming a little tune on the way back.
Fang Xingluo went home today for something, and Zhou Jingbai went out to do something, so naturally this house was Wen Zihuan's world. He
had a quiet lunch without being disturbed, and after basking in the sun in the backyard, he felt a little sleepy, so he went back to his room to take a nap.
As a result, when he was sleeping soundly, he was suddenly woken up by a mysterious force.
He stood up before he could even open his eyes.
"Am I not alive and well? How come the god of death came to take my life?" Wen Zihuan was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he was talking nonsense.
"Wake up quickly, I have something to tell you." Zhou Jingbai patted him lightly on the face twice.
Wen Zihuan felt this solid touch, and it turned out that it was not the god of death who came to take him, but a living person.
"Husband? Didn't you go out for work?" He opened his sleepy eyes and took a long time to see clearly who was standing in front of him.
[He usually says in a hurry that he goes out to do things and doesn't come back until late at night. How come he came back so soon today? And why did he wake me up when he came back? I didn't touch him on purpose yesterday. Is he going to settle the score with me later?]
Wen Zihuan came to his senses the moment he thought of this, and was interrupted just as he was about to speak.
"Let me explain to you what happened yesterday and the previous few times. Today I asked Dr. Lin, and he said that those symptoms were side effects caused by the medication. After a while, when my physical condition stabilizes, I will ask him to change the prescription, and such situations will not happen again."
Wen Zihuan had a big question mark on his face.
[Side effects of the medication? But isn't he taking those same medications all the time? I have been watching him take those medicines for three years. This is the first time I heard that the side effects of medicines can be delayed for such a long time. The chronic poisons in palace dramas are not so slow, and how can there be such shameful side effects. 】
He had a lot of doubts in his heart but didn't know how to say it out loud. In the end, he simply nodded to show that he understood.
"Husband, I understand. Do you have anything else?" Wen Zihuan couldn't help asking when he saw that he was standing there with no intention of leaving.
"I came here today to explain to you so that you don't misunderstand anything." Zhou Jingbai said this with a little pride on his face, and his chin was raised a little.
"Misunderstood what?" However, Wen Zihuan didn't understand at all.
The main thing is that he was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly pulled up and said a lot of confusing and illogical words. It was strange that he could understand it.
This made Zhou Jingbai, who looked confident, not know how to respond. In the end, he just said it was nothing and left the room.
"If you want to leave, at least help me close the door." Wen Zihuan sighed and complained while getting out of bed, putting on shoes and preparing to close the door.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jingbai, who had just left before he touched the door handle, suddenly appeared again, which almost scared him out of his heart disease.
"Husband, do you have anything else?" Wen Zihuan asked while patting his chest.
"What I meant just now was that you should not misunderstand the relationship between us, and don't forget why you married into the Zhou family. Although I don't know why, my physical condition is indeed getting more and more stable. But there is something I must tell you in advance."
[Is he still going to settle the score with me? What did he say about the misunderstanding of the relationship before? Why did he speak so vaguely today? Do rich people like to be riddle tellers?]
Wen Zihuan signaled him to continue.
"When I was young, I promised Xingluo that I would marry him after I grew up, but my health got worse and worse after that. Your appearance was also arranged by my family without my knowledge. At that time, Xingluo was abroad, and I had no power to make the decision, so I just obeyed my family's wishes."
Zhou Jingbai's expression became more serious as he spoke. "I will probably divorce you this year or early next year. You don't have to worry about the inheritance. After we leave, I will give you a corresponding compensation, which will be worthy of your care for the past three years."
Although he didn't think Wen Zihuan took care of him at all, after all, there were a large number of servants in the house, including those who cooked, cleaned, and took care of the house.
Thinking about it, the thing Wen Zihuan did most in these years was probably to stay by his side and do some unnecessary things.
Wen Zihuan blinked, and Zhou Jingbai thought he was confused, but unexpectedly he was overjoyed.
[I shouldn't be dreaming now, right? Did I hear him right? He said that he was planning to divorce me in the near future, and would give the inheritance directly to me. Wouldn't that be equivalent to my early retirement but without any reduction in salary? I knew that God had seen my hard work over the years, and now the reward for my hard work has come, right?]
Zhou Jingbai's expression suddenly turned cold. He was the one who gave the money, so why did God get the credit in the end? And why didn't he see his hard work over the years?
I didn't help much, but I caused a lot of trouble.
"I understand!" Wen Zihuan suddenly said loudly, which scared him.
"What do you understand?"
"Husband, do you want me to cooperate with you in acting?" Wen Zihuan said with an experienced look on his face, as if he had a lot of experience in divorce.
"Acting? What kind of acting?"
"You must be worried that the Zhou family will not agree if you take the initiative to file for divorce, so you want me to cooperate with you a little, right? Don't worry, with my many years of experience in watching dramas, I can handle this kind of nonsense and complicated plot."
Wen Zihuan was a little excited and said all his thoughts out loud, mainly because he was too happy to retire early.
I thought that the day when he could embrace a wonderful life of wealth and freedom was still a long way off, but I didn't expect that God would give him such a big surprise.
Zhou Jingbai couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and he said this as if he had done this many times.
"Are you so happy to hear that you are getting a divorce?" He suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the previous topic.
This sentence also made Wen Zihuan stunned on the spot.
[Damn, am I too obviously happy? This is not my fault. After all, I have finally made it after three years of hard work, and I have obtained financial freedom for the second half of my life in my early 20s. Who wouldn't be happy? I was out of control, I forgot that I was supposed to be a passionate person, according to the previous setting, I should be heartbroken when he asked me for a divorce! 】
He also did what he said, and two tears came out of my eyes as soon as I thought about it.
"Hubby, how can I be happy if I divorce you? How can you say that to me? We have been together for three whole years. As the saying goes, a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace after one day of marriage. We have done so many favors to each other in these three years. If I could, I certainly wouldn't want to divorce you, but I want to make your happiness come true. Seeing you happy makes me happy from the bottom of my heart!"
[My acting skills just now were simply amazing. It seems that Director Zheng's vision is not in vain. I do have the talent to enter the entertainment industry. But now I think the life of intrigue in the entertainment industry is not suitable for me. Anyway, I am financially independent and can just travel around the world.]
Wen Zihuan squeezed his tears to act affectionate on the surface, but he was beaming with joy in private.
The expression on Zhou Jingbai's face at this moment was indescribable. In the end, he turned around and left without saying anything.
"Hey? Why are you leaving? I haven't finished my prepared speech yet? Could it be that my words just now were too affectionate and moved him?" He scratched his head, then wiped his tears with a smile and skipped back to the room.
When Zhou Jingbai went downstairs, he ran into Fang Xingluo who had just returned from home. Seeing that he looked unhappy, he quickly stepped forward to show concern.
"I'm fine. I have something to tell you."
"Why are you so serious all of a sudden? Just say whatever you want to say."
"Let's get married."
